Defending the Right to Life: Killing Women and LGBTIQ Persons during Conflict

This panel discussion will address a petition filed by our Human Rights and Gender Justice Clinic HRGJ), asking the International Criminal Court to bring charges against ISIS for persecuting the people under its control on the basis of gender.

This event at the United Nations, is organized by HRGJ in collaboration with the Government of Finland and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

In Iraq, women, girls and LGBTIQ people have been targeted with violence on a staggering scale. The HRGJ Clinic and their partners have documented these crimes to lay the groundwork for future justice processes. Join us to learn more about how we can prevent this violence, in Iraq and beyond.
